My boyfriend has really, really dry and cracked skin on his hands. It's so bad to the point where he'll just have cuts opening up out of nowhere. He won't go see a doctor, and when he tried moisturizer, it helped, but only a little, but was too painful due to all the open cuts.
Is your boyfriend a mechanic? Mine is and had super dry hands. i took almost a whole tube of neosporin and coated his hands before bed. Then, when he woke up, I put cocoa butter on like imlonely said. It worked amazing :) hope this helps
Put loads of hand cream on before you go to be and put mickey mouse gloves on (white cotten gloves) the heat and the cream will work brilliantly.
Cocoa butter u cud use on the, or if its that bad u may want to consult a doc
Or get some good body butter and put it on ur hands
